After a long hiatus, the band officially disbanded in December 1999 and it was not until around 2010 that Moritomo finally regained his voice, he then began a solo career.

Hold On My Beat
T-BOLAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いつも誰かに頼りたくて
そんな姿見せたくなくて
強がりだけが味方だった
I want my beat Just on my beat
都会のえのぐに染まるだけじゃ
やりきれないよ
I want my beat Just on my beat
Hold on my beat
くじけそうになると いつでも
アイツの胸にすがりたくて
甘え方も知らないくせに
いらつく想いから のがれた
I want my beat Just on my beat
めめしさだけ かばうだけじゃ
やりきれないよ
I want my beat Just on my beat
広い空を感じたいよ この胸に
Hold on my beat
I want my beat Just on my beat
都会のえのぐに染まるだけじゃ
やりきれないよ
I want my beat Just on my beat
広い空を感じたいよ この胸に
Hold on my beat
I want my beat Just on my beat
めめしさだけ かばうだけじゃ
やりきれないよ
I want my beat Just on my beat
広い空を感じたいよ この胸に
Hold on my beat
I want my beat Just on my beat
The lyrics to T-BOLAN's song "Hold On My Beat" depict the struggles of navigating through everyday life and facing obstacles that make one want to give up. The first verse describes the feeling of being lost and constantly relying on someone else for help. The singer doesn't want to show this vulnerable side to anyone, so they put up a front of being tough and independent, even though it's not always true. The repetition of "I want my beat just on my beat" serves as a mantra for the singer to hold on to their own identity amidst the chaos of the city.
The second verse introduces another character, "アイツ" (aitsu), who the singer seeks comfort in when they feel like they are about to break. Though they don't know how to ask for help in a vulnerable way, they still find solace in this person's presence. The repetition of "hold on my beat" in the chorus can be interpreted as a call to keeping one's rhythm and staying true to oneself even in tough times. The song ends with a repetition of the same verse and chorus, emphasizing the importance of holding on to one's beat no matter what.
